1. Turns

   An expression applied to the convolutions of wire in a solenoid, electro-magnet, or other apparatus or construction of that kind. A turn indicates a complete encircling of the core or axis of the object. Thus a wire wound five times around a bar gives five turns. While this is its primary meaning the term if compounded may refer to virtual turns. Thus an ampere-turn means one ampere passing through one turn. But ten ampere-turns may mean ten amperes passing through ten turns, five amperes passing through two turns, and so on. This use is analogous to a dimension of length in a compound word, as foot-pound. [Transcriber's note: "But ten ampere-turns may mean ten amperes passing through ONE turn or one ampere through ten turns, and so on."] There may be a number of kinds of turns qualified by descriptive adjectives, as series-turns, the turns of wire in a series circuit of a compound dynamo. In the same way there are shunt-turns. If series ampere-turns or shunt ampere-turns are meant the word ampere should be included.

Examples of Turns in a Sentence

1. Ronald Greene York:

   We've seen a pattern in this country, an unfortunate pattern. When law enforcement alone are the only persons with access to critical evidence, like this kind of video, the process is to minimize the conduct, to keep it out of the eyes of the public and to protect the police officers, however, when this video is made public, typically by camera footage or cell phone footage like in the case of George Floyd... that public pressure turns out to be very effective in moving elected officials to hold police officers accountable, so that's what we're looking forward to in this case.

2. Sheriff Joe Pelle:

   We’re looking into the cause and origin of the fire. If it turns out to be arson or reckless behavior with fire, we’ll take appropriate actions, it was a red flag day the day of the fire, so there shouldn’t have been any burning.

3. Northeastern University law professor:

   The question is : You fire into a crowd, it’s foreseeable that people would then run. Are you then accountable if it turns out one of the people who ran has asthma ? let’s take it another step. . . . It’s foreseeable that someone who ran for their life would get hit by a car. To what extent is that different ? The fact that the means of death is unusual, does that matter when the fact of death is foreseeable ?

4. Andreas Simic:

   The search for happiness is often fraught with many twists and turns, each one challenging our belief that we can truly find nirvana. Andreas Simic

5. Sonequa Martin-Green:

   There's gonna be all the twists and turns you would expect and twists and turns you did not expect, the finale is probably the most jam-packed episode there's ever been. Things are packed into it like sardines. All of the life is squeezed in there. They lengthened it to 90 minutes because there's just so much. It's a supersized monstrosity.
